Full casting has been revealed ahead of the return of Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black at The Fortune Theatre, London from 7 September 2021.

Having previously played the role of ‘Arthur Kipps’ at the Fortune Theatre in 2017 and at the start of 2020, Terence Wilton returns to the show this year. His other West End credits include Never So Good at the National Theatre, Treatment at the Donmar, and War Music and Antony and Cleopatra at the Old Vic

Returning to the role of ‘The Actor’ is Max Hutchinson, whose recent theatre credits include The 39 Steps at the Barn Theatre and Theatre Royal Windsor, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith at Jermyn Street Theatre, and the UK Tour of Murder On The Nile.

The producers are thrilled that in response to the show’s enduring popularity with young people, those aged 18 and under will be able to see the West End production free of charge, alongside each full paying adult ticket.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over his family by the spectre of a ‘Woman in Black’. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins creep.

The Woman in Black is directed by Robin Herford, with design by Michael Holt and lighting by Kevin Sleep.
